Acupuncture High Blood Pressure Treatment

This article very briefly describes using an acupuncture high blood pressure treatment. High blood pressure is also commonly known as hypertension.

High blood pressure is a condition in which blood flow exerts excessive pressure against the inner walls of the arteries.

Constant elevated pressure exerted on the walls of these arteries will destroy the lining of the capillaries and lead to a condition called arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.

When acupuncture treatments are accompanied with electrical stimulation, what is also referred to as electro-acupuncture, it has been found be effective in reducing high blood pressure. When the electrical impulses were maintained at low frequency levels, considerable decreases in blood pressure were reported.

In an attempt to heal elevated high blood pressure levels, acupuncture high blood pressure treatment involves inserting fine and sharp needles into key points or trigger points in the wrists, forearms, and legs. This will stimulate certain chemicals in the brain and decrease the excitatory responses of the cardiac system.

This will bring about a reduction in the activity of the heart and need for oxygen which will result in lowering blood pressure levels to a great extent.

A natural acupuncture treatment for treating high blood pressure includes pressing the skin on the back of your hand in between your thumb and index finger.
